Description
We are looking for a volunteer (or couple) from Oct-Dec, 2023. We live on 25 acres about 5K outside of Rossland - British Columbia's most charming ski town. There's not another building in sight from our home, with a view that extends clear into the US! Step out onto the deck for the kind of star gazing that inspires kids to become astronomers. Trails are our favorite diversion in Rossland, so bring your sense of adventure!
Work around the house and property may include housekeeping, brushing and clearing, general maintenance. Our family of 4 will be traveling on and off during these 3 months, so your stay will include some solo time in our house. Our dog Duchess (a border collie mix) will remain behind with you.
We hosted with Workaway for nearly 3 years when our children were young and met the most incredible people. Looking forward to connecting with you!Types of help and learning opportunities

We love creating new traditions, s'mores, and pancakes with maple syrup... bien sur. Come gather round the bonfire with us!
Help
Our pasture is wild and weed whacking is bi-monthly pastime in the summer, snow removal in the winter. There are plenty of ways in which this land could be enhanced — a covered picnic area is one example. We have two garden beds that welcome a green thumb. Priority given to those with a high tolerance for one very affectionate dog. :)
